The pet project of the Face of GirlPreneur Beauty Pageant called the Pad A Pal Initiative which is designed to assuage period poverty by provision of free sanitary products for women and girls of menstruating age in low income households as well as Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management sensitization has been welcomed with open arms to Oyo State. The project which has raised about $2,000 for purchase and distribution of pads in its two previously held editions in Lagos which was executed by the Queen Violet Ejiata, and Nigeria’s Capital, Abuja which was conducted by the Face of GirlPreneur first runner up, Queen Iferike Rosella, has now been endorsed and supported by the Oyo state House of Assembly as revealed by the Queen, Queen Violet Ejiata who was received warmly in company of volunteers of the project by the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Right Honourable Adebo Ogundoyin at the Oyo State Government Secretariat in the State capital, Ibadan. The Speaker, the Deputy Speaker, and the Oyo State House of Assembly Legislators did not reserve their enthusiasm about the project and pledged their full support to the cause whilst commending the Queen for her consistency in carrying out such altruistic and inspirational project. The outreach is scheduled to take place in a community in Egbeda local government area of the state on Saturday the 13th of February, 2021.
Covid-19 left many families financially handicapped and their girl child(ren) extremely vulnerable during their menstrual cycle. In order to commemorate Valentine’s Day, the outreach is targeted to reach 5,000 women and girls in rural communities and is slated to hold across five states in Nigeria- Oyo State, Imo State, Rivers State, Akwa-Ibom State, Lagos State, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
While this third outreach wraps up the Face of GirlPreneur 2020 Queens’ reign, the question everyone wants answered is, “what state is NEXT”?

The mission of the initiative is to improve rural community living amongst women by addressing growing genital health concerns through provision of quality sanitary pads.
